A statistical model of the penetrating arterioles and venules in the human cerebral cortex

摘要

ObjectiveModels of the cerebral microvasculature are required at many different scales in order to understand the effects of microvascular topology on CBF. There are, however, no data-driven models at the arteriolar/venular scale. In this paper, we develop a data-driven algorithm based on available data to generate statistically accurate penetrating arterioles and venules.
